Chapter 25: Old Classmate Comes Again

Song Tan smiled calmly:

"Auntie, this is twenty yuan, take it—I know the quality of my vegetables. Since you're not used to eating them, why waste money? There are so many people waiting to buy them behind you. Leave the shepherd's purse to others."

The auntie was instantly stuck, and then she didn't even take the money: "You girl have a temper. Can't people talk about shortcomings when doing business? It's just twenty yuan, at most I won't want it, you sell that shepherd's purse to me."

"That won't do." Song Tan's smile was as amiable as her refusal was hard:

"You've seen it too, our vegetables aren't enough to sell anyway. If you don't like them when you go back, why bother?"

"Exactly!" The auntie behind immediately echoed: "I want the shepherd's purse!"

Taking advantage of small things leads to big losses. The shepherd's purse was sitting in the basket, totaling less than five jin. Here, you're picking faults and still asking them to sell, and if you come back later to ask for a refund and act shamelessly...

Even a fool wouldn't do this business!

With the taste of these wild vegetables, were they worried about selling?

Song Tan took advantage of the other party's astonishment and deftly stuffed the twenty yuan to her: "Auntie, there are other vegetables in the vegetable market, you pick again, I'm busy here."

That tone was like dismissing something.

The other party hadn't had time to refute before being pushed away by the customers who squeezed up anxiously from behind.

And not far away, a couple was also quietly looking over here.

The girl tightened her face: "What do you mean! You think my classmate is good-looking, right? What buying vegetables—you're just looking for an excuse!"

The speaker was Song Tan's classmate, Wu Qianqian.

After her boyfriend quietly joined the group that day, he found that this group of only a dozen people was unusually hot!

Everyone was boasting about the various good tastes of wild vegetables, saying it was simply like a heavenly banquet. Thinking of the bundle of watercress that brushed past him that day, the young man became greedier and greedier, and for these two days, he dreamed of the taste of those wild vegetables!

This wasn't it, seeing the group news early in the morning, he hurriedly brought his girlfriend over.

But he didn't expect so many people to be queuing in front, and looking at Wu Qianqian's appearance, he had concerns, and for a while, he didn't dare to queue.

He could only coax her with good words: "Qianqian, look at so many people queuing, the vegetables must be selling well! I've been here for several days, and today I want to show my parents a dish—after all, she's your classmate, and what we said yesterday wasn't appropriate. Otherwise, I'll wait for you here, you go buy it."

When this was said, Wu Qianqian turned anger into joy. Nothing was happier than her boyfriend valuing her.

She thought for a moment, then nodded reservedly: "Alright! Then I'll queue up and see."

She held her posture, looking at this stall, looking at that green vegetable, and then slowly went to queue.

However, when it was her turn, the basket was empty, and only a small handful of Ma Lantou was being packed into a plastic bag by Song Tan.

She was anxious: "Hey hey hey! Why is there none! Song Tan, where are your vegetables?"

Song Tan hadn't spoken yet, but Qiaoqiao opened his mouth: "Sister, you came late, there are no vegetables!"

Saying that, he skillfully handed the QR code forward: "Join the group, sister? I'll tell you next time I sell."

Wu Qianqian was so angry!

She ignored Qiaoqiao, but stared at the bag of vegetables in Song Tan's hand: "Song Tan, isn't there still a handful? An old classmate came to take care of your business, why don't you sell it?"

Song Tan didn't even raise her head: "This is for someone else."

Her boyfriend was still looking from afar, and Wu Qianqian felt even more embarrassed:

"Aren't wild vegetables everywhere? You can send them to anyone at any time. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for my boyfriend wanting to taste wild vegetables, I wouldn't have come today."

"Don't worry, I won't bargain with you, sell that bundle to me."

Song Tan didn't care about people's little thoughts, but she didn't intend to wrong herself: "That won't do. If wild vegetables are everywhere, go dig them yourself, and save twenty."

Saying that, she simply reached out to move the basket: "Qiaoqiao, let's go."

Leaving Wu Qianqian standing there blankly, watching Song Tan's silly younger brother move the basket onto the car, and then the car started and drove away.

Only then did her boyfriend walk up anxiously:

"Oh my! Didn't buy any again! I saw in the group that it'll be three days later next time..."

Wu Qianqian originally felt embarrassed, but now that she heard this, she exploded: "Buy buy buy! Buy your head! What vegetables are so hard to eat that you have to eat wild vegetables! Country bumpkin!"

Her boyfriend's face changed instantly.

And here, Song Tan drove the small pickup to the Fengfeng Express Station.

"Please pack it, send it by fresh express, Ning Province First People's Hospital, Zhang Yuan—this is the phone number."

The express staff took the bundle of Ma Lantou from the plastic bag: "If it's fresh, this will be expensive! Just for this handful of green vegetables, it's not worth it."

Song Tan also felt heartache for the express fee, but fortunately, wild vegetables didn't cost money.

She nodded: "It's fine, send it—if it's within the province, it should arrive tomorrow, right?"

The other party nodded: "Rest assured, it will arrive tomorrow morning. I guarantee your vegetables will still be fresh."

Song Tan then paid.

This Dr. Zhang Yuan asked for news of a lifesaver, and it had been several days without a reply—Song Tan was afraid that the other party really had something to do, so she simply sent some wild vegetables, a disguised urge.

Just wild vegetables, it wouldn't involve anything like sending red envelopes for bribery.

After finishing, she went home, and the family sat there calculating the accounts—

Good guy, this wave was three thousand yuan!

Wu Lan couldn't help but regret: "You say if these wild vegetables could be sold for a year..."

Song Sancheng was speechless at this woman who was obsessed with money.

"This is God giving face, so our wild vegetables grew exceptionally well this year. In half a month, what vegetables won't come out? By then, do you still intend to sell them for twenty? I don't know how long ten yuan will sell."

Song Tan thought for a moment and said naturally:

"I intend to keep selling them for twenty."

"Keep selling until the end of the month."

With this taste, there are plenty of people willing to spend money, and she had never underestimated everyone's consumption ability. It just happened to pave the way for the vegetables she was about to plant—she, Song Tan, sells vegetables that are good, expensive, and worth it; if you don't eat them for a meal, you'll be heartbroken!

As for why she wouldn't sell them at the end of the month?

At the end of the month, the Chinese milk vetch should be ready, so she would go sell the tender buds of Chinese milk vetch.

Forget about wild vegetables, picking them every day, even spiritual energy couldn't hold up, so let them have a way to live.

Wu Lan just thought about it, but Song Tan really dared to do it!

Looking at her arrogant words, as if people couldn't live without their own vegetables.

Song Sancheng, the father, sighed, thinking that money in the city was so easy to earn nowadays?

He simply changed the subject: "Taking advantage of this time not being too busy, your mother will watch the work at home in the morning, and you send me to learn the driver's license. I'll send your mother over in the afternoon."

"Our family has a car, we can't let it sit there and waste. When I get the license, I'll drive."

"For a girl, driving a pickup doesn't look good."

He said it with great ambition, as if the license was right in front of him.

Song Tan looked at him: "Dad, have you memorized the questions for the written test?" ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
